Sound Escape

Spent a great couple of weeks in this home. We wanted for nothing as the owners had provided for our every need. Having rented for years in Corolla this is the first time it felt more like a home than a rental. Wonderfully comfortable furniture inside and out and great beds. The surprising unknown was how abundant the wildlife was around this home. Deer, egrets, eagles and otters kept us entertained on almost a daily basis. The Village Realty staff in the Corolla office were instrumental in helping us complete a sizable real estate sale, kudos to the 3 ladies in the front of the office.

Lots of thunder, lightning, rain. However, the house is accommodating with lots of places to read and watch your favorite movie. The sun did come out ( finally) and we enjoyed our stay very much. I love the layout of the house. The pool and hot tub are great. You do need to add a handrail down center of the stairs going from deck to pool. Overall we were very comfortable. Trolleys overwhelmed, you need more.

Positives; Great house and we loved the view. Nice amenities, pool, etc. and we absolutely fell in love with the community and all it offered. Shuttle to the beach was amazing. Negatives; the air conditioning has been sporadic at best. After the first day of dealing with it we called and had it serviced. It was missing freon, which means it is poorly maintained. The technician said he barely got the compressor running. It cooled from 80 to about 75-77 but wouldn?t cool more than that. It also seems that the system has been programmed to do a hold at random hours, upon which it stops blowing any air! Very uncomfortable, and honestly the only factor in causing us to pause in booking this home again next year.
